1. Process for using improved tire rolling resistance of a subject vehicle tire to obtain credits for a contribution in greenhouse gas emission variation produced by heat engine powered vehicle circulation, comprising:

  • A. determining the rolling resistance of the subject vehicle tire;

    B. determining the rolling resistance of a reference vehicle tire;

    C. calculating a reduction in the rolling resistance of the subject vehicle tire compared to that of the reference vehicle tire;

    D. operating the vehicle with each tire thereon being the subject vehicle tire and measuring the greenhouse gas emissions produced during such operation;

    E. operating the vehicle with each tire thereon being the reference vehicle tire and measuring the greenhouse gas emissions produced during such operation;

    F. determining that a variation in greenhouse gas emission is produced by the reduction in rolling resistance during step D as compared to step E;

    G. certifying the variation determined in step F; and

    H. determining a greenhouse gas emission credit attributable to the certified variation.
